Abstract

Cathodic reduction of MoS 2 in DMSO electrolytes containing alkali cations A + results in the formation of defined ternary phases A+ 0.125 (DMSO) y [MoS 2 ] 0.125 - with highly mobile solvated interlayer cations. Reduction of MoS 2 in DME electrolytes yields similar products. Basal spacings are dependant on solvent type and on ionic radius of A + . Further reduction of these compounds is associated with irreversible processes.
